TIME's PERSON OF THE YEAR 2006 Article and Discussion

Monday, Feb. 11th-Wednesday, Feb. 13th

In preparation for our participation in the NetGenEd Project, each pair of students will research one of the technology trends outlined in the 2013 Horizon Report. Students will learn research techniques, practice advanced Internet search strategies, begin tagging and sharing resources using social bookmarking, and collaboratively compose a page on our class wiki with information about their topic. By the end of the week, students will be ready to teach their classmates about their technology trend and its future impact on education.

Step One - Start with the 2013 Horizon Report

  1. Read the overview of your technology trend described in the 2013 Horizon Report
  2. As you read, if there are words you don't know as you read, stop to look them up.
  3. Begin to notice key words related to your technology trend
  4. Spend some time outside of the report investigating your technology trend as it is on the Internet
  5. Record key terms, relevant URL's, and questions that you still have regarding your assigned technology on your wiki page (follow the links in the left hand column of the wikipage)
  6. Remember that organization of your page is important, so use this time to think about the aesthetics of what you post to your topic wikipage-how is the information organized? Is it accessible/understandable to other readers?
